Mid-ocean ridge

The Cherokee speak the story of a young man: One day, while out hunting in the forest, the man came across a bear. He fired off arrow after arrow at the beast, but could not bring it down. Eventually the bear stopped running, and stood up, pulling the arrows out of his body and holding them towards the man. The hunter realized he had stumbled across a medicine bear, “protected by magic”. The bear, after promising he would do the man no harmed, led him back to his home. It was a cold winter,…

Essay One: Rough Draft Both Aleksandar Hemon and Eula Biss both argue that having a sense of belongingness to a community is important for people to feel, and I agree with that because having a place to call home can make someone feel like they are a part of something and makes them feel comfortable. On the contrary, if you do not feel as though you belong to a certain community, you lose a sense of uniqueness and having a special emotional tie to where you live. In Aleksandar Hemon's "Lives…

happened. What a tragedy. With ROVs they just might be able to find the deceased sailors and the ship and provide closer for the loved ones. ROV, Remotely Operated Vehicles, main use is finding treasures and sunken ships in the deepest parts of the ocean. They are used in water and are little robots that can operate for up to 22 hours on end. On one side of this debate critics would say that ROVs are not valuable when in reality they are definitely essential for underwater research. However,…

ships for research use. The warship HMS Challenger was modified to a research ship by having ammunition and 15 guns removed and replaced with laboratories. It was the first expedition of its kind, organized and funded specifically to chart and record ocean features as well as to examine the deep-sea floor more closely than ever before. The expedition was led by Captain George Nares and the scientific work was led by Wyville Thomson and assisted by Sir John Murray. Captain Frank Tourle Thomson…

subduction, mid-ocean ridge, and ocean trench and island arc. Subduction is when two tectonic plate’s convergent boundaries come crashing together resulting in one going below the other. This results in the bottom plate to sink into the mantle. Mid-ocean ridge is an underwater mountain ridge that forms when convection currents causes magma to rise where two tectonic plates meet at a divergent boundary. Ocean trench are long narrow depressions on the sea floor as a result most ocean trenches…

the word “Marine Biologist” mean the study of ocean life. Approximately 70% of the earth is covered by water, while the rest is land. A marine biologist has a significant profession by studying the life in the ocean and all of its secrets. The secrets in the ocean could hold value to curing diseases and develop more resources. With about 98% of water on earth being oceans, scientists are not even close to knowing all of the life that calls the ocean its habitat. Many scientists believe that…

earthquakes, and almost two hundred impact craters. All of these features come from the Earth constantly being in motion. The Earth has powerful forces that are caused by nature. Most of which can’t be seen but felt because they are deep in our Earth’s oceans. To begin with diving into the depths of oceanography, one may ask themselves, “What is oceanography?” Oceanography is the study of the phenomena and properties of the deep sea. Chemistry, biology, physics…

rocks as the Sauk transgression progressed from relatively young continental margins into generally older cratonic interiors. Perhaps the strongest evidence for an increased reservoir and flux of continental chemical weathering products to the global ocean is provided by direct measurements of [Ca21] in evaporite fluid inclusions. Concentrations of Ca21 in sea water rose precipitously from…

deep ocean just might be the dumbo octopus. It has large, rounded fins on its body that resemble the ears of “Dumbo, Walt Disney’s animated elephant.” And like the adorable little elephant, the dumbo octopus uses those big “ears” to get around. It’s biome is the aquatic Marine. Dumbo octopus can be found typically in every ocean in the world. Although, the dumbo octopus is a deep sea animal that lives on the floor of the ocean at extreme depths. The octopus is found in the mid-atlantic ridge…

It is defined as a movement in the oceans that has a direction and is continuous. These abiotic features of the environment are created by the average or mean flow of the seawater, winds, Coriolis Effect, salinity and temperature difference, cabbeling and breaking waves. Coriolis Effect is the result of the rotating Earth. The rotating Earth changes the straight line path of the current and winds as they travel. Thus, the currents due to this in the Northern part move to the right side whereas…
